We are pleased to recognise colleagues across Langham Hall who have recently completed their ACCA qualifications and achieved fully qualified status. This is a significant milestone, reflecting years of commitment, perseverance and professional development.

To reflect on this journey, we caught up with Jacques Amy, Senior Fund Accountant in our Jersey office, to discuss what qualifying with ACCA meant to him and the support he received along the way.

Q&A with Jacques Amy, Senior Fund Accountant

‍

What does becoming ACCA qualified mean to you?

‍

Passing my final exam brings a great sense of relief and pride. I have been at Langham Hall for coming up to six years now and five and a half of those I have been studying towards my ACCA, so it is a great relief to get them done.

On a personal level, it finally means that I am able to close a long chapter of studying, from school to university and then onto professional exams.

‍

How did Langham Hall support you through your studies and exams?

‍

Outside of financial support, Langham Hall’s apprenticeship model focuses on developing staff from within, allowing me to take ownership of the process and develop at my own pace.

Many of the managers in the team have been through the experience themselves recently, so they are up to date with how the exam process works and able to provide valuable insight, tips and tricks.

Langham Hall has given me time off to attend full time, in-person tuition courses, allowing me to focus fully on my studies and not worry about work pressures.

‍

What advice would you give to anyone interested in studying ACCA or a career in accounting?

‍

My advice to anyone considering the path would be to give it a go. It can be tough at times, but also rewarding, and achieving the full ACCA status opens the door to so many possible future opportunities.

‍

Jacques’ experience reflects a wider achievement across the business.

‍

Whilst experiences vary, colleagues across Langham Hall’s jurisdictions often describe a shared sense of pride and relief when completing their final exams. Qualifying represents a significant personal milestone, reflecting the effort required to balance study alongside client work and bringing renewed confidence as they take the next step in their careers.
